Disposal of old battery
Have old batteries disposed of by your

position for transport and storage. Always
secure the battery against tipping over during
transport.<
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do not replace a defective fuse with a
substitute of another co lor or amperage rating;
otherwise, this could lead to a circuit overload,
ultimately resulting in a fire in the vehicle. <
In the glove compartment
Accessing the fuse box:
1.Open the glove compartment.
2. Remove the damper, arrow 1, from the
lower holder by applying forward pressure.
3. Disengage the glove compartment by
pressing on both tabs, arrows 2, and fold it
down.
Plastic tweezers are loca ted on the distributor
box.
Information on fuse assignment can be found
next to the distributor box.
Spare fuses are available at your BMW center.
After replacing a fuse, press the glove compart-
ment upward until it en gages and reattach the
damper.

Giving and receiving assistance
Mobility
Automatically triggering an Emergency
Request
Under certain conditions, an Emergency
Request is sent automatically immediately after
a severe accident. An automatic Emergency
Request is not affected by pressing the SOS
button.
Roadside Assistance
BMW Roadside Assistance is available by
phone around the clock in many countries. You
can obtain support there in the event of a break-
down.
First aid pouch
Some of the articles co
ntained in the first aid
pouch have a limited service life. Therefore,
check the expiration dates of the contents
regularly and replace any items in good time, if
necessary.
The first aid pouch is located on the right-hand
side of the trunk in a storage area.
Warning triangle
The warning triangle is lo cated in a holder in the
trunk lid. Press the tabs to take it out.
Jump starting
If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's
engine can be started by connecting two
jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You
can also use the same method to help start
another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with
fully-insulated clamp handles.
Do not touch any electrically live parts
when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-
dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow-
ing sequence, both to pr event damage to one or
both vehicles, and to guard against possible
personal injuries.<
Preparation
1. Check whether the ba ttery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 volts and
approximately the same capacitance in Ah.
This information can be found on the
battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the assisting
vehicle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.
There must not be any contact between
the bodies of the two vehicles; otherwise,
there is a danger of shorting. <

Connecting jumper cables
Connect the jumper cables in the correct
order to prevent sparking at the battery,
which could cause injury. <
Your BMW has a jump-starting connection in
the engine compartment which acts as the bat-
tery's positive terminal, refer also to the Engine
compartment overview on page 232. The cap is
marked with +.
1. Pull the cap of the BMW jump-starting
connection up to remove.
2. Attach one terminal clamp of the plus/+
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the
battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehi-
cle providing assistance.
3. Attach the second te rminal clamp of the
plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal
of the battery or a star ting-aid terminal of
the vehicle to be started.
4. Attach one terminal clamp of the minus/–
jumper cable to the nega tive terminal of the
battery or to an engine or body ground of
the assisting vehicle.
Your BMW has a special nut as body ground or
negative pole. 5.
Attach the second te rminal clamp of the
minus/– jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the battery or to the engine or body
ground of the vehicle to be started.
Starting the engine
1. Start the engine of the donor vehicle and
allow it to run for a few minutes at slightly
increased idle speed.
2. Start the engine on the other vehicle in the
usual way.
If the first start attempt is not successful,
wait a few minutes be fore another attempt
in order to allow the discharged battery to
recharge.
3. Let the engines run for a few minutes.
4. Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing
the above connecting sequence.
If necessary, have the battery checked and
recharged. Never use spray fluids to start the
engine. <
Tow-starting, towing away
Observe the applicable laws and
regulations for tow-starting and towing
vehicles. <
Do not transport any passengers other
than the driver in a vehicle that is being
towed. <
Using a tow fitting
The screw-in tow fitting must always be carried
in the car. It can be screwed in at the front or
rear of the BMW.
It is stored with the onboard vehicle tool kit
underneath the floor mat in the trunk, refer to
page 243.
